Collagen Protein Powder - Dark Chocolate (30 serves)

The collagen protein itself is tasteless but the raw cacao and monk fruit deliver a deliciously rich dark chocolate experience. Perfect for hot chocolate, smoothies and baking.

Collagen is an odourless, tasteless, dairy free protein source that's a co-product of beef. We like it because it's a great environmentally friendly option and easier on the gut than other proteins like whey. Besides being a great protein source, there's also a bunch of new research suggesting it's beneficial for gut health, joint and tendon health, recovery and hair, skin and nails.

In our flavoured options there is 11g of collagen per 15g serve. In our unflavoured option there is 15g of collagen per 15g serve (100% collagen). Most of the research for collagen supplementation is on 2.5g to 15g of collagen per day. You can take more, but there doesn't seem to be additional benefit according to the studies. You may though like to take more if you're having trouble hitting your daily protein requirements.

We use 100% Australian grass-fed bovine hydrolysed collagen peptides. Grown, hydrolysed and packed in Australia.

Yes! And more environmentally friendly than other protein sources such as whey, soy and pea.

Collagen is a co-product of animal agriculture which means if we weren't using it for a health food product it'd be going to landfill.

While grass-fed collagen isn't any better nutritionally speaking than grain-fed collagen, grass-fed is kinder to the planet.

Collagen Powder is a clean protein source that can be enjoyed daily by anyone. It's also great pre or post workout.

Yes! It's an essential nutrient. Collagen is also the most abundant protein in the body, so keeping up a healthy stock of collagen is important for us all, including kids who are growing fast.

We’re not allowed to give advice and you should always check with your doctor or health professional.

We can't give you that advice so you need to speak with your dietitian but we have had feedback from dietitians that all our products are suitable for diabetics.

No, collagen comes from animal sources so collagen is not vegan. There are plant based "collagen" powders starting to appear which essentially mimic the same amino acid profile of natural collagen, but to date there's not a lot of research showing it's efficacy and the research that does exist suggests you'd need 6 times as much to get a similar effect.

There are also vegan “collagen” products out there that don’t contain any collagen but claim to increase the body's own collagen production.

We do have many customers following a plant based diet who consume our products as a way to get important nutrients without eating meat. Think of collagen as an odourless, tasteless white powdered form of bone broth.

This collagen powder is certified Halal. It's not yet certified Kosher.

This collagen powder will last on the shelf for up to 24 months. The date on the product is a best before date, not an expiry date, which means it's a question of taste after that date.

This is because it can tend to get too thick and clumpy, and also to separate. Over time collagen protein in solution will start to denature (which occurs when proteins unravel and lose their structure) and it there is also a slight risk that microbes that may have been introduced from other ingredients or surfaces, could start growing. Refrigerating your shake will help preserve the structure of the protein, preventing unwanted clumping or separation, and also slow this down the growth of any microbes. Freezing will stop any micro growth and preserve the structure of the protein for a much longer period.

One serving is 15g which is approximately:

• 2 heaped 15ml tablespoons, or;
• 2 flat 20ml tablespoons

Most tablespoons in your kitchen drawer will be 10ml to 15ml. In Australia, a standard measuring spoon will have a 20ml tablespoon. Internationally, a standard tablespoon is 15ml.

Note that 15ml is not 15g of powder and 20ml is not 20g of powder, weight depends on the density of what's being measured.
